Ya know, the whole excitement around 'bursting' is pretty curious to me. I mean, this \
has been around for quite a while. Hasn't anyone listened to a mp3 served by a \
shoutcast server? You immediately get the stream rendered in your player with no \
buffering.

Of course, I'm glad that the msft, real, and apple are doing this as well but I don't \
get the hoopla.

Cheers,

Larry Underhill
